Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the safety of managing patients with suspected pulmonary embolism using a clinical model based on pretest probability and ventilation-perfusion scanning results.
  • Utilized pretest probability assessments for patients suspected of having pulmonary embolism.
  • Implemented ventilation-perfusion scanning to support management decisions.
  • Management approach based on pretest probability and ventilation-perfusion scanning is deemed safe.

Abstract

Management of patients with suspected pulmonary embolism on the basis of pretest probability and results of ventilation-perfusion scanning is safe.
